Goodness, this is ridiculous. Okay, fine, formalities are formalities. Congress passes resolutions almost entirely for the sake of just smiling at each other to see that they share the same ideals; but, really, this is absurd. I mean, to commemorate something that isn't a law: understandable. However, who in the world sat one day in a legislative office and decided upon "stop-at-red" day. Sigh, (serious) perhaps one day, as a society, we'll earnestly have to have a national celebratory "Homicide Abstinence" day...

I just had to google it to find out how this cause came about. The top ten videos on their website (an actual "red light" organization) was worth watching. Number two made me shout: http://www.stopredlightrunning.com/videos.html

There is an actual "Obey the Speed Limit Day," too in CA. I received a ticket for "speeding" (officer clocked different car and attributed it to my sports car--yes he admitted it and ticketed me anyway). Before the cop sent my on my way, he said, "Don't you know it's Obey the Speed Limit Day?" My response was "Isn't it Obey the Speed Limit every day?" Silence. What a tool. We don't have to worry about "Armageddon"; our increasing stupidity and complacency will drive us to extinction.
